i know, this name has been popular forever, but theres a reason...its a great name!

a lot of good nicknames can be derived from Elizabeth (my favorite is Lisa)

An old one, but a favorite because of the sound and connections, such as Elizabeth Bennett in Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice.

A very common name, but with infinite nickname possibilities, and I associate it with Elizabeth Bennett in Pride & Prejudice.

Even though it's a very common name, Elizabeth I is my role model. So I love it anyways! =)

another classic, strong yet feminine, has tons of nicknames, goes from childhood to adulthood with ease

No matter how common it is, I still love Elizabeth- itís so aristocratic and smart. I like the nicknames Liz and Libby too, and Lily.
although common, it's has a number of nicknames which can be customized to fit the personality of an individual

this is a classic name. One can make so many nicknames out of this one name. for example: Libby, Beth, Lizzie, Ellie, Liza, etc. The name itself is also pretty, and it sounds good for a tiny girl, OR and older woman, and I think that is important.

Elizabeth Antoinette: Elizabeth is the name of many strong women in my family. Antoinette is my Gramma Dorothy's middle name and it is powerful and has alot of heritage to it.

Elizabeth Arianna (ah-ree-anna): I think the nickname Ellie would be the cutest! Plus this name just sounds like the name of a very strong woman who will go far in life.

Elizabeth Caitlin: Elizabeth is my middle name and I think it is really special to have a part of yourself in your child's name

Elizabeth Claire: simple and classic

Elizabeth Gail: I like the name Elizabeth because it has more nicknames then any other name. I love the idea that my daughter could choose what she wants to go as. Even though the name is popular a child could still not have to be called Elizabeth S or anything because they could go by a differant nickname then the other Elizabeths. I like the nickname Lily the best because it's very feminine. I like Gail because it's my step-mother's name and I would like to honnor her. It's also flows very well.

Elizabeth Layne: Elizabeth is the worlds' most timelessly beautiful name. it's my sister's middle name, and Layne is the name that I picked out (and named) for my youngest sister.

This is the English form of Elisabet, the Greek form of the Biblical Hebrew name Elisheva meaning "my God is an oath" or "my God is abundance." In use in English since the middle ages, its popularity has lasted a long time, possibly due to the fact that each generation seems to invent a new pet form of it: Bess/Bessie, Betty, Betsy, Liz, Beth, etc. Other forms are: Isabel, Isabella, Liza, Lisa, Eliza, Elsie, Bette, Ellie etc. Click here for other forms of Elizabeth.See Also: Elisabeth, Elixabeth, Alizabith, Isabel, Isabella, Betsy, Liese, Lise, Lisel, Lizabeth, Beth, Bethan
